B.G 9.34

manmanā bhava madbhakto madyājī māṁ namaskuru। māmevaiṣyasi yuktvaivamātmānaṁ matparāyaṇaḥ ॥34॥

Fix your mind on Me; become My devotee; sacrifice to Me and bow to Me. Thus, uniting yourself with Me, wholly devoted, you shall surely come to Me.

Gīta Bhāshya 9.34

Conduct to be practiced by true devotee is highlighted. Conduct is stated to be a means for knowledge, and in the absence of knowledge, there is no proper devotion. Devotion to the Supreme, direct experience of one's own essence, and dispassion toward all else - this triad arises simultaneously.

"sā śraddadhānasya vivardhamānā viraktimanyatra karoti puṁsaḥ।"

"That (devotion), increasing in one who has faith, produces dispassion in a person towards all else."

iti ca।

- stated thus as well.

"vedāstvadhītā mama lokanātha taptaṁ tapo nānr̥tamuktapūrvam। pūjāṁ gurūṇāṁ satataṁ karomi parasya guhyaṁ na ca bhinnapūrvam॥
guptāni catvāri yathāgamaṁ me śatrau ca mitre ca samo'smi nityam। taṁ cāpi devaṁ śaraṇaṁ prapannaḥ ekāntabhāvena bhajāmyajasram॥
etairupāyaiḥ pariśuddhasattvaḥ kasmānna paśyeyamanantamenam॥"

"I have studied the Vedas, O Lord of the worlds; I have practiced austerity; never have I uttered a falsehood. I always worship my teachers and have never revealed the secrets of the Supreme. I possess the four hidden truths according to scripture, and I always remain equal towards friend and foe. I have surrendered to that Divine One and worship Him ceaselessly with undivided devotion. With such means and a purified heart, why should I not behold this Infinite One?"

iti mokṣadharme।

-stated thus in the Moksha Dharma (section of the Mahabharata).

ācārasya jnānasādhanatvokteśca। jñānābhāve ca samyak bhaktyabhāvāt। tathāhi gautamakhileṣu -

Since conduct is stated to be a means for knowledge, and in the absence of knowledge, there is no proper devotion. Thus, indeed, it is shown in the works of Gautama:

"vinā jñānaṁ kuto bhaktiḥ kuto bhaktiṁ vinā ca tat।"

"Without knowledge, from where comes devotion? And without devotion, from where that (knowledge)?"

iti।

- stated thus.

"bhaktiḥ pare sve'nubhavo viraktiranyatra caitat trikamaikakālam।"

"Devotion to the Supreme, direct experience of one's own essence, and dispassion toward all else - this triad arises simultaneously."

iti ca bhāgavate ॥31-34॥

-stated thus in the Bhagavata.

॥ iti śrīmadānandatīrthabhagavatpādācāryaviracite śrībhagavadgītābhāṣye navamodhyāyaḥ ॥

Thus concludes the night chapter in the commentary on the Bhagavad Gītā, composed by the glorious revered Ānanda Tīrtha Bhagavatpāda Ācārya

॥ oṁ tatsaditi śrīmadbhagavadgītāsu upaniṣatsu brahmavidyāyāṁ yogaśāstre śrīkr̥ṣṇārjunasaṁvāde rājavidyārājyaguhyayogo nāma navamodhyāyaḥ ॥

Om, thus ends the ninth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which is part of the Upanishads and the Yoga Shastra, in the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna, known as the 'Rājavidyā-Rājyaguhya Yogo', in the study of Brahma Vidya (knowledge of the Absolute).
